UPDATED: MAR 27, 2019 12 oz bottle. Poured an amber color with an averaged sized head. Earthy pile of leaves and lighter toasted caramel. Thin.

Aroma and flavor is malts, fruit, slightly watery and a sweet/hint of spice finish.

12 ounce bottle into dimpled mug, bottled on 7/16/2014. Pours fairly crystal clear deep orange/copper color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, brown sugar, brown bread, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good complexity and balance of dark/bready malt and light earthy hop notes; with decent strength. Taste of caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, brown sugar, brown bread, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light earthy herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, brown sugar, light nuttiness, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Very clean on lager flavor with minimal yeast ester notes present in taste and aromas. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and fairly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice Oktoberfest style. All around good robustness, balance, and complexity of dark/bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bottle -Pours a clear copper/amber with a smallish creamy head. Slight grass and malt aroma. Nice malt base with some caramel notes. Not a bad beer, but not good.

Pours an attractive honey color with no lacing and fair head retention. Tastes sweet, of honey and malt. Not a bad beer!

Malty, grain aroma and taste. Light hops. Clear, medium Amber color. Modest head.

Pours a clear copper/amber with a small white head. It smells a lot like a crisp fall morning. It have a very sharp sweetness that is almost a cider with almost no bitter. The body is light, thin, and crisp like a cider with a slight bitter finish. It’s not like a lot of oktoberfest beers I have tried with is a nice change of pace. I’m not a fan of either oktoberfest or ciders, but this is a nice balance between the two.

"Not a great reintroduction to the style in 2012. I had the Pyramid first this year, and that one was nice. This wasn’t a bad beer, but too sweet and one dimensional. Didn’t do much for me. "

Tap at Genesee Brewhouse. Malty nose, caramel and grains. Very sweet caramel flavor, lighly roasted, light grain, some husks. Too sweet and simple.

UPDATED: SEP 10, 2014 Mild aromas and flavors of sweet fruit and malts. Somewhat watery and with a short finish, but rather clean and refreshing.
